bite sized editorials!!! [as of new news on The otaku :p]

NEON GENESIS EVANGELION "KAWAII" MANGA INITIATIVE:
"Newtype is translating and publishing a serialization of the Japanese manga, "Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days." Watch for it in the next issue. Like the title suggests, this manga is light-hearted to an extreme. The Eva pilots are put in a happy-go-lucky world where "choosing the right girlfriend is more important than saving Earth."

What I say: T_T this scars me. the show is SUPPOSE to be all ANGSTY and DARK and ... DISTURBING. well, I guess this vision would be just as disturbing.. i remember at the end when there was that "alternate world of happiness" I was jumping up and down on my couch screaming... ^_^; original artist and writer i hope?

DISTRIBUTE LEGAL ANIME WITH BITTORRENT? AnimeOnDVD is reporting that ADV Films will begin testing the use of Bittorrent for distributing legal anime-related downloads (such as trailers). The first release is a trailer for MadLax and can be found here (special software required). Thanks AoD.

What I say: completely defeats the point of bittorrent! that is the tool for the masses of those who don't want to pay for it. we get trailers by bittorrent REGARDLESS! [coughnarutomovie2trailerlol]... Good luck ADV! [note: i already downloaded the entire Madlax series by bittorrent. take that adv! i still plan on purchasing merchandise, just to be a good consumer :p]

ANTI PLAGIRISM INITIATIVE:

*claps* *claps more* ^_^;;; plagirism sucks.

/editorials

^_^;;; 2 days ago, as many of you will have known, the HP book came out. well, like the crazed fan I am, i went to the bookstore with 5 of my other pretty crazed fan friends as well, waited, didnt get -my- book because i orderedit thru amazon [damn yew!] and had to wait for the next day. did that stop me from finishing it before my actual copy arrived ? behold my sequence of events:

11:12 PM: started waiting in line, read shoujo beat.
12:01 AM: 4 of my friends out of 6 received their books they did -not- order thru amazon,
12:20- 6:30am:Shared a book with my friend, got to around chapter....23, then vision began to blur, konked out for an hour and a half.
8am: woke up frantic, i had 2 more hours to finish the last 100 pages [out of 600].
9:45 am: Finished the book, ate something, went to sleep.
4pm: woke up, realizing 2 things:
1) I should NEVER EVER in the future stay up nearly all night. I just can't ;_;
2) I missed my kendo class!!!

30 minutes later -my- copy of the book arrived :)
